Paroles de la chanson By Strauss par Ella Fitzgerald

AWAY WITH THE MUSIC OF BROADWAY

BE OFF WITH YOUR IRVING BERLIN

OH I GIVE NO QUARTER TO KERN OR COLE PORTER

AND GERSHWIN KEEPS POUNDING ON TIN



HOW CAN I BE CIVIL WHEN HEARING THIS DRIVEL

IT'S ONLY FOR NIGHTCLUBBIN' SOUSES

OH GIVE ME THE FREE 'N' EASY WALTZ THAT IS VIENNEASY AND

GO TELL THE BAND IF THEY WANT A HAND

THE WALTZ MUST BE STRAUSS'S



YA, YA YA, GIVE ME OOM-PA-PAH

WHEN I WANT A MELODY

LILTING THROUGH THE HOUSE

THEN I WANT A MELODY

BY STRAUSS

IT LAUGHS, IT SINGS, THE WORLD IS IN RHYME

SWINGING TO THREE-QUARTER TIME



LET THE DANUBE FLOW ALONG

AND THE FLEDERMAUSS

KEEP THE WINE AND GIVE ME SONG

BY STRAUSS



BY JOVE, BY JING, BY STRAUSS IS THE THING

SO I SAY TO HA-CHA-CHA, HERAUS!

JUST GIVE ME YOUR OOM-PA-PAH, BY STRAUSS!



(BRIDGE)



LET THE DANUBE FLOW ALONG

AND THE FLEDERMAUSS

KEEP THE WINE AND GIVE ME SONG

BY STRAUSS

BY JOVE, BY JING, BY STRAUSS IS THE THING

SO I SAY TO HA-CHA-CHA, HERAUS!

JUST GIVE ME YOUR OOM-PA-PAH,

BY STRAUSS!"
